I searched for it in the forums, but I did not find anything useful. I am looking for a list of tags that we can use when we build our own items, feats, etc, in order to create these nice tool tips.
The only thing I know about is "[spell]", and may be I used another one already. But is there some kind of list? What about magic items, conditions, monsters, items in general, etc?
D&D Beyond offers the ability to link certain aspects on the forum in mouse-over triggered tooltips, such as magic items, monsters or combat actions - examples being Adult Black Dragon and dash. To create tooltips in this way as these, use the appropriate [tag][/tag] around the desired subject.
Example: [ magicitem]sunblade[/ magicitem] (Without spaces within the [ ] brackets.)
Stormknight, would it be possible to create a sticky thread that contains all the tooltip codes for easy access?
This list is included in the PbP forum in this thread.
Perhaps there could be a thread in General Discussion as well. People use these for homebrew and general discussion about the game, so having it in multiple places could help. Using myself as example, I currently have no interest in PbP so I would never come across that post and it’s not always easy to find it using search.

I think having a thread stickied to the Homebrew forum is a wonderful idea. I would like to avoid putting one in General, however. We like to avoid a large amount of sticky threads everywhere, and Homebrew feels like a better place for this. I'll get one up soon.

D&D Beyond FoundersD&D Beyond offers the ability to link certain aspects on the forum in mouse-over triggered tooltips, such as magic items, monsters or combat actions - examples being Adult Black Dragon and dash.

condition - a condition afflicted upon a creature - e.g. restrained, poisoned and prone
item - a mundane item - e.g. torch, trident and backpack
magicItem - a magical item - e.g. Bag of Holding, Dust of Disappearance and Demon Armor
monster - a creature you can encounter - e.g. Banshee, Bandit and Unicorn
sense - a type of extra sense, whether magical or natural - e.g. darkvision, tremorsense and truesight
skill - this is used for professions - e.g. Persuasion, Stealth

If you need help with homebrew, please post on the homebrew forums, where multiple staff and moderators can read your post and help you!
"We got this, no problem! I'll take the twenty on the left - you guys handle the one on the right!"🔊
Thank you very much!
Will there be a shortcut for feats too? I wanted to add a feat as a trait to a monster and use a tool tip in the description.

Tooltips (Help/aid)
Thanks firehawk, this is exactly what I was looking for in the first place.
